,BULL0CK'S BAD REGIME.
SENATOR JAMES CORRECTS AN Err
RONEOuS REPORT.

He Did Not Include the Carpet-Bag-
gers in His Tribute to the Worth of
Georgia's Public Servants Mr.. Rob-
erts Endorses the Provisions of the
Dean Bill
ATLANTA, GA, Aug. 20.--In the Senate
to-day Mr. james, of the Thirty sixth dis
trict, rose TO a question of personal privi-
lege, quoting the following from the Macon
Telegraph of this date: "Mr. James, of the
Thirty sixth, said i'm tho Senate Thursday
from 1850 to now the executive, legislative
and judicial have stood as high as any in
the Union. A man who has that opinion Of
the Bullock dynasty is not safe man to
follow in his opinions as to the
States road or anything. Maybe his dates
are misquoted" He said the Telegraph had
been misinformed, unintentionally he was
satisfied, as to what he did say. What he
did say i'll that connection was that when
ever the people of Georgia Had been per-
mitted TO elect their State officers,
the executive, legislature and iu-
dicial departments had stood as
high as any in the Union.
He had taken pains TO except the Bullock
regime and to expose the frauds of Bullock,
Blodgett and their crowd. He had always
believed that Bullock was fraudulently
elected and would always denounce and
condemn the frauds of that administration
Us strongly and earnestly as the Telegraph.
He hoped the Telegraph would do him the
| justice to make this correction.
THE DEAN BILL.
| The unfinished business was the Dean bill,
| providing for tho sale of the State road.
Mr. Roberts, of the Fourteenth district,
concluded his argument. He replied to the
charge that the bill encouraged the claim Of
the lessees for betterments This he denied,
asserting that there was nothing in the bill
that could be tortured into such a construc-
| ton. II it could he would not advocate the
passage of the bill He did not believe, as
had been advanced by the opponents of the
| bill, that the sale of the road would
injuriously affect the credit of the
state STATE This, This is @ period Of
an opportune time to sell the road. There
will never be another such opportunity.
| The State has lost money-a clear million
| in dabbling with railroads. and 1t is time
she were washing her hands of them Here
discussion of the bill was suspended till Nom
